Computer Salvation

The building manager's family is giving their computer to me. I have two currently. Both laptops more than five years old. They both require so much patience, flexibility and time to use that I have taken to using my phone to write emails. Neither has a battery that works. The internet browsers shut down whenever they encounter Flash or really anything. I wonder how long the Microsoft engineers have been trashing the error logs from my computers. So I will be recieving a older desktop that is 'outdated'. This desktop has 10X more memory, a better processer and 8X more RAM than either of these laptops. This laptop, the one I consider better can only display 16 colors on the monitor, 1/3 of which does not display desktop at the borders. So I am pretty excited. I just need to decide what to do for them for the favor and what to do with the laptops. Good wine and shotgunning, respectively? Spa trip and trip to the Sun, also respectively? The former for the manager and the latter for the laptops. Not the other way around. That was last week, when I wanted lightbulbs changed.
